It's different for everyone - some students have transfer
credits, and may also receive credit for military or work
experience.

It also depends on whether you are attending classes full-time
or part-time.

If you have transfer credits, Central Penn will complete a
transfer evaluation for you ahead of time - before you even begin
taking classes - so you will know before making a commitment how
many credits will transfer and how long it will take to complete
your degree.

Once Central Penn receives your transcripts from any other
colleges or schools you've attended, our Transfer Evaluator will
review your transcripts and complete a transfer evaluation for you.
This will be emailed directly to you so you can see what credits
transferred to Central Penn and what classes you have left to
complete.

Financial aid is available to those who qualify. If you are applying for federal financial aid, you must complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Student Aid) and Federal Direct Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note. If you are unsure about how to complete the necessary paperwork, we have a Financial Planning Coordinator who will work with you to help you complete your forms and answer your questions.

Having your own computer or regular access to a computer is
extremely helpful - especially if you are planning to take online
classes. We have computer labs available at each of our locations,
so you can use those computers whenever the facility is open.

Yes! Central Penn offers several online classes and 13 online degree programs. You can take a blended course - that is, studying online and in a classroom - or in some cases, you can complete your entire degree online! Check our academic offerings to see which programs are available to you in the online format.

Part-time students who take classes in the classroom typically
attend two nights a week. Students who wish to go full-time may
attend classes four nights per week, but those classes are
sometimes supplemented with online classes.
